WelshDevilRob Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Errol Spence Jr (20-0, 17 KOs) takes on Leonard Bundu (33-1-2) this Sunday at the Ford Amphitheater, Coney Island, New York. Lou DiBella (DiBella Entertainment) promotes the card whih will be televised on USA NBC, USA NBC Sports Network. Can the heir-apparent to TBE go one better than Keith Thurman and stop the veteran Italian? Also, what a great female contest on the undercard etween Heather Hardy and Shelly Vincent - both undefeated and a local rivalry. I don't watch female boxing but this match-up has stoked my interest. http://www.ringnews24.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Lou-DiBella.jpg Spence Jr vs Bundu this Sunday at Coney Island Spence Jr vs Bundu this Sunday at Coney Island - - Boxing News - Ring News24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? Yes he can. Algieri was completely chanceless, Bundu might be better than him but not that much better. Might go the distance and it might not, 50/50 chance I'd say. Or, a slightly bigger chance that Spence stops him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? --- Bundu surprises with raw strength, stamina, and awkward style. Spence better served concentrating his boxing at this level as he'll need it more and more if he progresses. Really not fair fighting 40 yr olds, but still a decent test.

selij Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? Certain people are still saying Spence Jr is a hype job - well when he wins on Sunday night for 21-0 all that mullarkey can stop. The form book is in his favour too. Khan, Provodnikov and Pacroid couldnt stop Algieri but Spence Jr did in great style having him on his arse in R4 and twice in R5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel1 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? I think Spence is the real deal. Probably the no.1 welter in the world already. I don't agree that Bundu is better than Algieri - Spence will stop the veteran African in about seven rounds. Can't wait to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? It's a good question, and happily it makes this fight at least semi-interesting. I've only seen Bundu fight Thurman, so I have no idea. We all know how good Spence is. He's faster than Thurman. He arguably hits harder. He goes to the body better than Thurman. He has a more varied attack than Thurman. IMO he's the only WW that can beat Thurman, and I think that's a safe bet. Thurman may actually have slightly better defense than Spence, but that won't matter against Bundu. It's just a question of who can get to him more decisively. So, how good is Bundu, defensively? Heckiff I know. Edited August 20, 2016 by Cableaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? --- Manny knocked Algieri down a half dozen times, twice with his injured right and some were loop de loops and others 15 sec counts. Provo knocked down good enough for the early stoppage and a dozen times more not called when it was only the ropes that saved him. Arum saved Algieri perfect record for manny and made sure manny couldn't ko him so as to preserve the TUE fight. No need to save Algieri when Spence fought him, so he was duly sacrificed to fluff up spence expectations as though he really needed Algieri for development. He didn't.

repsac Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? Spence gets the late stoppage. I see Spence improving with each fight, whereas Thurman has kind of plateaued. Hopefully it's Spence vs Thurman next. Let Danny Garcia go somewhere else.

pittbox Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? I look forward to a firm message from Spence, but Bundu is pretty tough. I expect kind of boring fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a bit harsh on Bundu, as he's always been a fantastic operator. Just gotten his chances late. Has skills and is tough but I think age could play a part. Still could go the distance and certainly wouldn't be surprised if this is a tougher fight for Spence than expected. Wouldn't be a bad thing, as all up-and-comers need the tricky fights.

You're starting to sound like ME ! :laugh: (FWIW, I think you're right.) --- Nah, all I did was connect the dots provided by the clear results of the fights. When Spence can knock a guy down 6 x without getting a stoppage, let me know. When he can obliterate a guy with a shot akin to getting clobbered with a baseball and subsequent damage, let us know. I like Spence, but Haymon coddles his fighters like no other promoter in history save allegedly. I shudder to think what a bull like Porter could do to him if he can't run like Thurman One Time did.

sould664 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? If he can stop him it wont be until the late rounds, i'd say 8 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller result over Kassi result seemed surprising until I had heard the full details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Re: Errol Spence Jr fights this Sunday - can he stop Bundu? Had a blast. Love the venue, minus the rain delay. Seemed like Spence was breaking Bundu down, certainly didn't expect a one punch knockout. Brutal. Heather Hardy fight was entertaining. So was the Nova vs Garcia walk out bout.
